Mac Mini - Turns off 30 seconds after power on

Any input would be helpful please.


After pressing the power button the machine looks like it begins to boot normally with the Apple logo and the progress bar. I can not boot into safe mode or reset the Pram. The unit powers off 30 seconds (approx) after boot. Thanks

From your description, it sounds like a hardware issue with either the power supply or logic board.
